est. Above all the seeming it is q battle,
of course, between struggling democratic
sentiment and the aristocracy that believes
in the King Gods anointed is found On
the surface, however, this is the issue: The
ministry wish to arm the country, increase
the Notifications and the navy, ell the
arsenals, and augment the gendarmerie.
Its plea is this: The country well armed
is safest true patriotism stands for readi-
ness and ability to defend ones native
land; Denmark is small, but by wisely
conserving the friendship of the Powers,
they will preserve the INDEPENDENCE of the
kingdom. To these arguments the opposi-
ton replies: The country is best governed
that is governed least; in large army is
the strength of the aristocratic rulers and
the weakness of the people, from whom
taxes are forced to maintain it; the gen.
darmerie is used only to cow the people,
prevent their assembling to discuss popu-
lar rights, and is the equivalent of a decree
that the people are lawless, savage and
need the constr aint and surveillance of a
military people, while in fact they are
peaceful, industrious and among the most
intelligent and patient people on earth. As
to the friendship of other nations, the OPP
position say Give no cause for offense;
keep out of entangling alliances let us
mind our own business, and the justice of
the world of men, and the growth of
democratic ideas, to say nothing of the
jealousy of the Powers toward each other,
will we find safety-it is to the interest of
each that we shall be the prey Of neither.
So this long-continued trouble in Denmark
is a type of the struggle that is manifestly
being engaged in more and more vigor-
ously in many of the nations of Europe.
The lovers of liberty-they who hope and
believe in the universal spread Of the dem
ocratic idea-expect the day when kings
will not be able to dissolve the representa-
tive councils Of the people from whom
alone the right to govern can come, and
at whose will alone can it be exercised

A Young Man Shot and Killed Without
Pr0vOcation.
FRESNO, January 16th.-Fred Nelson was
killed by Mike Morris at Paige's new vine
yard, near Fresno, last evening. Four
young Scandinayians were camping to-
gether, and after finishing work yesterday
decided to go hunting to-day. Morris told
Nelson it was his turn to get supper, but
the latter said he would not. Morris
picked up his gun, and pointing it toward
Nelson said he (Morris) would kill him if
he didn't. As he said this the gun was dis
charged, the load striking Nelson in the
left breast, inflicting an instantly fatal
wound. Morris claims that the shooting
was accidental. as he was only playing with
Nelson, and that he does not know how
the gun was discharged. Morris COM
panions substantiated his statement, al
though the sentiment of the public is that
there was something behind the act not yet
disclosed.

passed, and now officially denounce the
dynamite outrages. 1t is only to be re-

State Niticultura1 Commission.

A meeting of the State Viticultural Com
mission was held Saturday at San Fran
cisco, at which Commissioners HarasZthv
Wetmore, Krug, Shorb, De Turk, West and
Secretary Wheeler were present.
A communication was read from James
H. Real, President of the National Agri-
cultural ard Dairymen's Association, no.
tifying the Board of a national convention
to be held in New York about February
S,h and 9:h to be followed by a banquet to
representative agriculturists, Congressman,
Senators, Governors and other leading men.
The communication further invites partici-
patton, and requests that the Com mission
select proper California wines for use on
this occasion. The consideration of the
above was postponed until January 18th.
Another letter was read concerning the
American exhibition at London. The
writer urged the value of an exhibit of
California wines, and the early appoint
ment of a proper representative of those in
terests. He further indicated valuable
means of introducing California wines
abroad and a willingness TO render what
ever assistance lay within his power.
Senator Rose addressed letter to the
Secretary, requesting him to express to the
Commission his hope that the resignation
of Mr.. Wetmore would not be accepted,
and that he may be induced to retain his
position.
Mr.. Haraszthy read the communication
containing the resignation of Mr.. Wetmore
as chief executive officer. Mr. Shorb
earnestly urged Mr.. Wetmore to withdraw
it. Other members of the Commission ex-
pressed similar sentiments. Finally mo-
ton by Mr.. Krug that action on this
resignation be deferred for four weeks was
carried unanimously.
Mr.. Shorb offered the following resolu-
tons, which were unanimously adopted:
Resolred. That on behalf of the yine-growers
OF this State the thanks of this Commission are
rendered to all the Representatives and Sena-
tors of this State in Congress tor their united
efforts 10 secure favorable legislation on witt
cultural matters; also to Hon. J. Z. Jones and
his colleagues on the Senate Finance Commit
tee for their assistance; also to Hon. Wharton

to protect pure wines against adulteration and
Resolyod further That the Secretary of this
Commission be instructed to communicate with
Mr. Green with respect to his bill taxing spuri-
Gus Wines and to inform him that its provisions
were now being examined carefully, and that
some notifications might be suggested by this
Commission. which it is believed will further
improve and strengthen the measure both be-
lore the people and Congress, and prove salts

se,f-praise no Recommendation.

Self-praise is no Recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit
person 10 tel the Truth about himself
when what he says is supported by the
testimony of Others no reasonable man will
doubt bis word. Now, to say that Allcock's
Porous Plasters are the only genuine and
reliable porous piasters made is not self
praise in the slightess degree. They have
stood the test for twenty-five years, and in
proof of their merits it is only necessary to
call attention to the cures they have eff
fected and to the voluntary testimonials of
those who have used them.

TIE Garments Association Of San Fran
cisco has vigorously and openly denounced
the dynamite outrages in that city, and
washes its hands of the methods employed.
1t declares that instead CT aiding the strik-
ers the bomb cripples them and weans
away public sympathy. Very true, and
very well said, and the action of the car
men is also commendable in offering 500
reward for the discovery of the dynamite
fends. Why, that is out of all dispropor
tion to their ability, measured by the mu
nicipal standard. For the Supervisors of
San. Francisco have offered reward of

AN ENrERPRIsING COMMUNITY.

A strong association is forming in the
city of Stockton for the purpose of making
known to the world the great natural re-
sources and general attractiveness as a
place of residence of the city of Stockton,
of San Joaquin county and of the San Joa-
|quin generally. The breadth and charac-
ter of any undertaking may always be
measured by the scope of its plans. The
association now forming proposes to spend
$4,000 month in advertising the re-
sources of their locality. They are making
arrangements to guarantee the sum of
100000 for the first years operations. In
this the people of Stockton are profting by
the example of Los Angeles, San Bernar-
dino and San Diego counties. The people
of the latter counties have spent dollars
for the cents expended by the people of
all upper and middle California The
result has been to force upon the attention
of mankind the advantages of their sec
ton. The investment has paid enor-
mously. For example, recent in
stances, with the details of which we are
familiar, will be instructive and illustra-
tive. A tract of eighty acres not demand
ed for commercial or mechanical purposes
but simply dependent upon its value for
its own product, and so remote from the
city as to have no prospective value as
street frontage, sold for $4,000 cash
or 81 800 per acre. Ten years
ago this land would not have brought ten
dollars an acre, not because it was not lust
as valuable intrinsic;lly at that time as
now, but because the saluhrity Of the eli
mate, its desirability as place of resi-
dence, and its intrinsic value for horti-
culture have been made known to the
world, and have created demand which
produced the price mentioned. The peo-
pie of Stockton will succeed in creating a
boom, because in the first place they have
a good country, good climate, a growing
city, an enterprising community, good
social and educational advantages, and be-
cause all that is needed to secure to their
section large volume of immigration is
to make these things thoroughly known.
They are starting out upon basis SO bread
that the superstructure will necessarily
justify the basis. If the plans now pro-
posed are successful, the next great boom
in California will relate to Stockton, and
will attain the proportions which have
characterized the Southern California
boom; and, beyond all this, will repay the
money invested hundred fold. They will
succeed because they ale putting money
enough in their effort to secure success. A
little money expended in the way of adver-
Using the resources of country is simply
money wasted. 1t is like the attempt to
extinguish fire. If water enough to
quench the fire is applied the building
may be saved, but that amount of water
which simply checks the conhagration,
and which permits it ultimately to go on
and destroy the building, is effort wasted.
We confess our admiration for the en-
ergy and enterprise of the people of our
neighboring city, and wish them the sue
cess which their very earnest and deter
mined effort deserves

THE interstate commerce bill has passed
the United States Senate, and will in all
probability be ratified by the House and
become law. We believe and have MAIN
tanned that it will prove a damaging meas
ure; that it will visit upon the people ills
for the removal of which they will pres
emily clamor. The clause permitting the
suspension of Section the long and short
haul clause will possibly for time miti-
gate some of the ills we have pointed out
to be inseparable from the bill. But
sooner or later these Suspensions" or in
dulgences will become bones of contention
and seeds of discomfort, not to say of mis-
use and discrimination worse by far than
any charged against the railroads Mr..
II. V. Poor, in a very recent monograph
says that experience has fully shown that
in the United States the best results are Sc
cured in railroading by leaving such works
as to operation to the control and guidance
of natural laws. The soundness of that
conclusion we believe will be ratified by
the new experience the people will have
under the interstate commerce bill. In
twenty years past the railroads have re-
duced freight charges in the ratio of from
four to one, q result no enforcement of
statute law could possibly have produced,
and at the same time not have utterly
stopped railroad progress and building.

A BILL in the Legislature proposes
amendment to the marriage law. 1t is
needed. Consent without solemnization
of some kind should not be permitted to
make a marriage legal. The law should
not be so framed that rascal who de-
ceives and presents woman to the world
as his wife should be permitted to there
after deny her. Neither should it permit
the infamy of marriage by consent in
writing without witness and record for it
amounts to divorce by consent also, by
mere destruction of the document, and
thus legalizes polygamy and worse. There
should be no recognition by law of mar
riage, save as stated, until there has been
some ceremony of open solemnization, to
be followed by a record, and for failure to
make which severe penalty should be
attached.
